N O V E M B E R:
AMERICAN DIABETES MONTH
|
|
According to
healthfinder.gov
, diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it’s not controlled.
One in 10 Americans have diabetes — that’s more than 30 million people. And another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, getting more physical activity, and losing weight.
How can American Diabetes Month make a difference?
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advises that Americans use this month to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes.
Here are just a few ideas:
- Encourage people to make small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Talk to people in your community about getting regular checkups. They can get their blood pressure and cholesterol checked, and ask the doctor about their diabetes risk.
- Ask doctors and nurses to be leaders in their communities by speaking about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity.

THANKSGIVING FIRE SAFETY TIPS
Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family and eating all that delicious food. However, during your preparation of food, any range of mistakes can lead to disaster. The kitchen is the leading room in homes for fire disasters and cooking is the leading cause of fires in a home. Put these two stats together, and as you can imagine, the dangers of Thanksgiving should not be taken lightly.
Cooks should not wear any loose clothing while cooking. During the entire cooking process, be sure you never leave the room. Even if someone must leave the kitchen for a short period of time, the stove should be turned off. Other important safety tips include:
- Check back on the food you’re cooking regularly. To be sure you do not forget about the cooking food, use the oven to turn on a timer.
- Keep young children away from the cooking area. For the safety of your children and your home, try setting up a 3 foot zone around your stove.
- Cooking utensils and accessories that can catch fire, should be kept away from the stove. Some of these items may include pot holders, oven mitts, paper bags, wooden utensils, towels and more.
- To prevent any dangerous grease buildup, regularly clean cooking surfaces.
- Before leaving your home or going to bed, be sure to check that all stoves, ovens or other small appliances are turned off.
- Every home should have a fire extinguisher. If you do not have one, purchase one and place it in the kitchen for storing.
- Fire alarms are your best friend and can be a life saver. Install a smoke alarm close to the kitchen area, on all levels of the home, and inside and outside of bedrooms. To ensure they are working properly, use the test button each month and replace batteries every year.
